Waukesha, Wisc. (March 10, 2014) – James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing is ready for the AMA Pro Racing Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson series season opener at Daytona International Speedway with a new sponsor and a continued relationship with the VETMotorsports program.

“I can’t wait to get back aboard my Harley XR1200 on the high banks of Daytona,” said rider and team co-owner Paul James. “It’s my 20th consecutive season of road racing, and I feel fortunate to participate in the AMA Pro Racing series in a class so close and competitive. And I’m excited to share the experience with our sponsors, supporters and especially with the wounded veterans.”

James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing will again be partnering with VETMotorsports to increase outreach to wounded combat veterans. The VETMotorsports mission is to honor and empower disabled combat veterans through active participation in motorsports with post 9-11 wounded combat veterans serving as embedded members of the team throughout the 2014 AMA Pro Racing season.

Joining James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing as a presenting sponsor in 2014 is N.E.W. Industries, which provides CNC production machined parts and weldments as well as complete secondary services to top O.E.M. manufacturers in the U.S. and abroad. Long time presenting sponsor Spectro Oils continues with the team and highlighted the relationship in their most recent product catalog http://www.spectro-oils.com/catalog

“We’ve always looked at racing as a way to showcase our decades of engine building expertise at Hoban Brothers and build on our partnerships in the industry," said team GM, tuner and co-owner John Dahmer. "It’s great competition, great fun, and for us – a great proving ground. We’re excited for the season to start.”

Travis Blasier, a former CCS and supermoto racer and the owner of Blasier Performance, will serve as crew chief for the team. Dan Koester and Ben Schmidt will provide at the track mechanical support.
